Biography
Jean Lessard was a Sans-Culotte leader during the French Revolution, and was an extremist living in Paris. Lessard stalked Madame Tussaud in 1794 after she was not sent to the guillotine, and he attempted to murder her. He sent men to her workshop to find her, so Tussaud sent Arno Dorian to make sure that her workers were okay, before assassinating Lessard. Arno stole a letter from one of his men in her workshop and found out that Lessard was going to take some men to her waxwork exhibition, where he would exact his own measure of justice.

Arno headed to the Palais de Justice, where he found Lessard and his men. Hiding in a crowd of people, Lessard succeeded in tripping Lessard and stabbing him in the chest with his hidden blades, assassinating him. Tussaud was no longer at risk of being murdered, and she gave Arno 400 livres.
